Peter - P/N 376-415 is JUST the nipple, which is approximately 3/4 inch. 376-405 is the compression nut that attaches the nipple to the fitting in the tank. If you are looking for a means of lengthening the pipe, just solder the nipple to a piece of pipe about 3" long, attach the nipple to the fuel tank outlet, then bridge the gap with some fuel hose.

I think I only got about £35 when I sold my spare Ital engine and I think I'll hang onto my Marina engine for a while longer - unless someone makes me a great offer!

.. GREAT POINT on the engine mounts i had forgotten that issue conserning the newer mounts. Vs the older

definatly worth consideration

Sorry on 3rd paragraph .... higher octan should read higher CR


.

Forgot to mention

for a street car i wouldnt go for max CR ...

1. to many changes are happening to fuel ... 15 years ago our fuel was still non ethinol and primium 98 octan was at almost every pump....now all our fuel is ethinol based at 10% and going to 15 % shortly and our primium is 91 octan and all of it other then boat and airplane fuel is ethinol based

so a common hot r...

Does anybody know the approximate length of 376-415?

I have a leak from the fuel line where it attaches to the tank and believe it is the "shoulder" fitting that is soldered to the line.

376-415 and 376-405 are offered as options from the early MGB tanks.

I can go rubber hose to my backup fuel pump as I only have about 15" of copper currently.

Thanks in advance.

Start with a 1500 head, a mm off will take you near enough 9.8 ish to 1. The chambers are fine. Fit the MKIV large inlet valve, three angle in and ex seats, mod the backs of the valves with a 30 degree cut. Blend in the valve throats to the larger inlet valve, blend the ex throats and away you go.

I presume by Piston Volume you mean the volume above the piston and below the block deck, not actually the volume of the piston! Generally this is the dish in the piston plus the volume given by the piston clearance to the block surface X area of the piston top.

Pretty sure the 1300 head (1275?) doesn't give 10.5 CR as standard. Where did that figure come from? Or is it a Metro 1300 head?<...

rather then relive the cly head thur combustion chamber grinding

...id use the comtic cly head gasket... you can get them as thin as 1/32 of inch to over 3/8 of an inch thick

What i learned about modifying cly heads is less is more when it comes to grinding.... the biggest area to work id the blob that bolds the guilds ... you want ro grind that out so its a gentle s...

JR, find out how much they charge for shop time... You could pay more for an hour's shop time that it costs to replace... here's one on ebay for $100 or best offer...
